New Year’s Cookies

These New Year’s cookies are a cake mix cookie (so easy to make) with lots of fun and sparkly, New Year’s Eve themed sprinkles mixed in. Think gold, silver, white and black confetti sprinkles.

They are the perfect sweet treat to have on hand to toast with champagne or sparkling cider at midnight as you watch the ball drop.

How to make Easy New Years Cookies

Combine the eggs and oil with the cake mix. You can use a stand mixer and large mixing bowl or a spatula and a small bowl, depending on how many you want to make. I recommend making one batch with white cake mix and another with chocolate cake mix.

Then generously add your New Year’s Eve themed sprinkles and stir gently.

Cover the large bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the fridge for a few hours. I think the cookie turn out chewier but if you don’t have time, it won’t be the end of the world. Unless of course, it’s 1999 (Y2K anyone?!?!?).

These are the Best New Year’s Eve Cookies to make for your next holiday party

Drop ~1″ dough balls on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake cookies for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. If you want extra ‘sparkly’ cookies, you can add more sprinkles to the top of the cookies before you cook them.

Be careful not to undercook these cookies. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack. These are chewy cookies that can be stored for several days in an airtight container if you have any leftover after your New Year’s Eve fun!

Chocolate New Year’s Eve Cookies

Chocolate New Years cookies are fun too, just use a box of chocolate cake mix. I also added a little black food dye, to really make the sprinkles pop. These cookies are sweet enough and no royal icing or frosting is necessary.

These are essentially themed funfetti cookies perfect for a New Year’s Eve party.
